it looks like anything larger than max value for an integer in dateadd's 2nd parameter creates an overflow exception. This pretty much forces us to work no more finitely than minutes in our app. Without a stored proc or ss2008, is there a workaround in sql?
View 9 RepliesHey guys I have the following in my SQL statement:
DATEADD(hh, @hours, @startTime)
hours is an integer and startTime is actually a string, but the thing is that this statement works fine if I use it like this:
DATEADD(hh, 8, @startTime)
The first version is what I need so that the user can control from a parameter and I get the following error:
Error Source: System.Data
Error Message: Failed to convert parameter value from a Decimal to a DateTime.
Thanks!

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
If I install SQL 2005 Standard on Windows 2003 Standard, is SQL limited to 4 gigs of physical RAM?
I'm planning a new system that will run SQL 2005 Standard edition on a Windows 2003 Standard platform. The spec calls for 8 GB of RAM. My experience would lead me to suspect I need to install Windows 2003 Enterprise to take advantage of all the installed memory.
The very simplified version of my problem is that these
Select DISTINCT Cast(KWID as NUMERIC)
FROM OV_MID
Select DISTINCT Convert(Numeric,KWID)
FROM OV_MID
should work, but don't because KWID is a varchar and somewhere in there is something that won't convert.
I get this error:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
I would love to find out which rows are causing the error, but more importantly I would like to have a Null value where the conversion doesn't work and the numeric values where it does work.
I have already deleted all obvious non-numeric characters, but I believe there are some line terminators being read as carriage returns in this table. :confused:
Any workaround or way to determine which rows have KWID that cannot be converted to numeric would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi All,I have read about deadlocks here on Google and I was surprised to readthat an update and a select on the same table could get into adeadlock because of the table's index. The update and the selectaccess the index in opposite orders, thereby causing the deadlock.This sounds to me as a bug in SQL Server!My question is: Could you avoid this by reading the table with a'select * from X(updlock)' before updating it? I mean: Would thisresult in the update transaction setting a lock on the index rowsbefore accessing the data rows?Merry Christmas!/Fredrik Möller

The function "DATEPART(wk, [valid_date])" appears to have the following bug:
DATEPART(wk, date) returns week 53 for the following dates (checked years 2000, 2001, 2002):
year 2000: 12-24-2000 through 12-30-2000 inclusive
year 2001: 12-30-2000 through 12-31-2001 inclusive
year 2002: 12-29-2002 through 12-31-2002 inclusive
DATEPART(wk, date) returns week 54 for the following dates:
year 2000: 12-31-2000
SQL2000 SP1.
Are there any known workarounds/fixes/patches for this (other than just hand-coding the function?)
Thanks!

I'm converting crystal reports to SSRS reports right now and came across this function that I'm not familiar with.
It's a formula field in crystal that has this formula:
quote:whileprintingrecords;
NumberVar RTCurrent;
NumberVar RT31to60;
NumberVar RT61to90;
NumberVar RT91to120;
NumberVar RTOver120;
if {@AgedDays} < 31 then RTCurrent := RTCurrent + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 30 and {@AgedDays} < 61) then RT31to60 := RT31to60 + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 60 and {@AgedDays} < 91) then RT61to90 := RT61to90 + {@BalanceDue} else
if ({@AgedDays} > 90 and {@AgedDays} < 121) then RT91to120 := RT91to120 + {@BalanceDue} else
if {@AgedDays} > 120 then RTOver120 := RTOver120 + {@BalanceDue}
@Aged days is just an integer, but that shouldn't matter for this thread.
Is there just a While loop equivalent for this in SSRS?
At some point in time, when I release my code from developemnt to production, somebody will onvoke the SQL Script containg my certificates and symettric keys based on my master key. Unfortunately this seems a bit of a weekness as my SQL SCRIPT contains the CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD stement which has the password itself in clear. (script gets invoked from a command line in a batch script which is all under documeny mangement control). Obviously I would not like my password to be be in clear anywhere - i.e. not in document control nor viewable from whoever invokes the script. What is best pracrice to adopt on this? - encrypt the script file?

Hi,
Any insights to this issue would be great.
Following is my problem statement. I have write around 20Batch programs and in each batch i have atleast 7-8 data validations. If any of the data validation fails then i have to perform a log operation and exit.
Now I have each of my data validation as a Script Task (Control Flow) which inturn would call my SP and set the "Status" variable accordingly
I have written a "OnVariableValueChanged" Event with Raise Change Event for "Status" variable set to "True" Now in this event i check if Status = False, if it is false then i perform the log operation and throw a new DTSException to abort the control flow execution. The event gets fired but it continues to process the next control step(but i wanted it stop there). I could have acheived this by setting a precendence constraint (Status = True) for all of my control flow task but i feel the other approach to be very elegant.
Any suggestions to make this work??
Thanks & Regards

I am trying to group on the number of distict field values. Basically:
=Ceiling(CountDistinct(Fields!ClientID.Value, Nothing)/10)
So for every 10 different clients, I get a group. I get an error with the above function saying aggregates are not allowed in a grouping expression. I tried creating a text box with the running value:
=RunningValue(Fields!ClientID.Value,CountDistinct,Nothing)
The value of the text box is correct, but I can't reference that text box in the grouping function. It says the textbox is undefined.
Any suggestions for a workaraound?
Thanks.
I have a portal site that has many iframes loading various pages. One of the iframes requires data from a database that has a slow connection and right now there is nothing we can do about the slow connection and is something we have to live with.
What seems to be happening though is that even though each page is loading seperatly in an iframe, when the page loads with the slow connection, it seems to hold up processing on the server for the other frames until the connection has been established with the server. It can be something like 10 seconds. I am guessing trying to establish the connection is holding up the worker process on IIS???
So I am trying to find a workaround bearing in mind there is nothing we can do about the slow connection for the time being? Does anyone have any suggestions? One I am thinking of is forcing this frame to load last so at least the other frames are not being held up. Another is maybe to use a seperate thread, but does anyone have any idea on this?
Thanks in advance

After digging for some time now into the "guts" of SSRS, I am wondering if anyone out there has any ideas which might help me at this point.
I am trying to write an Invoice report.
Each report can have 1 to n invoices on it.
Each invoice can have 1 to n line items (spanning several pages for the larger ones)
Each page must have a fixed header and footer with account and payment information on it (the page header and page footer work OK for this).
And here is the problem. Each invoice must also include 1 to n images at the end of the report. 2 on a page and take up an entire 8.5 by 11 inch page. (spanning many pages when many line items exist)
Since the report already has a page header and footer with the report detail stuffed in a table in the middle of the page (report body), I am stuck.
I have read several posts which talk about having a can-grow container with a subreport in the existing footer, but I can't even come close to getting this to work. My footer would have to take up the entire page and having nothing but a subreport in it.
I can not provide a link to the images in the report, as each report must print in its entirety without user involvement (no drilling down).
I am thinking that my report is too complex for SSRS at this time. I would love to be proven wrong by someone on this forum.
Thanks for any and all replies.

any stored procedure guru's around ?
I'm going nuts around here.
ok basically I've create a multilangual website using global en local
resources for the static parts and a DB for the dynamic part.
I'm using the PROFILE option in asp.net 2.0 to store the language preference of visitors. It's working perfectly.
but Now I have some problems trying to get the right inserts.
basically I have designed my db based on this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/LocalizedSamplePart2.asp?print=true
more specifically:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/LocalizedSamplePart2/normalizedSchema.gif
ok now let's take the example of Categorie, Categorie_Local, and Culture
I basically want to create an insert that will let me insert categories into my database with the 2 language:
eg.
in categorie I have ID's 1 & 2
in culture I have:
ID: 1
culture: en-US
ID 2
culture: fr-Be
now the insert should create into Categorie_Local:
cat_id culture_id name
1 1 a category
1 2 une categorie
and so on...
I think this thing is only do-able with a stored procedure because:
1. when creating a new categorie, a new ID has to be entered into Categorie table
2. into the Categorie_local I need 2 rows inserted with the 2 values for 2 different cultures...
any idea on how to do this right ?
I'm a newbie with ms sql and stored procedures :s
help would be very very appreciated!
thanks a lot
Hi,
This could well be down to my _limited_ knowledge of XSD.
I have a document and SXD supplied by 3rd party.
Both documents are valid, according to XMLSpy.
When I give the document and xsd to SSIS XML Source it complains about ambiguous complex types.
In the XML doc there is an element called Allowance that has child elements.
There is also a group which references many other elements including Allowance.
When I remove the group, SSIS stops complaining about allowance.
Would the problem stem from SSIS creating an output called Allowance ('cause of it's children), getting to the group and again, 'cause allowance has children, try create another output called Allowance.
Is my understanding of this correct? Is there a work around for a situation like this?
The only thing I can come up with is deleting the group....
Possible to alias an element? Could alias the Group > Allowance g_Allowance.
Cheers,
Crispin
I've written a managed (C#) stored procedure with the following signature:
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void Sproc(string startDate, string endDate, string idList)...
Sometimes when I call this sproc, my comma-separated list of IDs exceeds 4000 characters. How can I get around this problem?
I guess I need something equivalent to NVarchar(MAX), but for CLR sprocs instead of TSQL.
Any thoughts?
This is the message I get trying to load the assembly into my database:
€˜Create failed for SqlAssembly €˜Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPProvider€™
Assembly €˜microsoft.oba.metadata.metadataaccess, version=1.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=€¦ €˜ was not found in the SQL catalog. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 6503)
I heard one opinion that said that it appears that SQL the CLR Hosted Environment tries to load the whole assembly dependency graph and doesn't find the dependent assembly in its catalog. That is consistent with the restriction of the CLR Hosted Environment not supporting managed code dynamically generated (
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131047.aspx )
My questions are: what is microsoft.oba.metadata.metadataaccess and how can I preload it in SQL Server? Assuming the assembly lives somewhere in the server, is there a way to refer to it inside SQL Server without loading it? How is the SAP provider related to Office Business Applications Services (that's the only acronym I could find relating Microsoft with OBA)?
thanks,
Gustavo
I have a page for inventory price entry that I have used for a while. Now I need to add a checkbox for whether or not the price includes shipping. I added the checkbox to the form and had it posting 'True' or 'False' to the database as nchar(10) data type. When the gridview pulls up the data, I have the Item Template like this, so it shows a disabled checkbox either checked or not: <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")) %>' Enabled="False" /> This works fine for displaying the values, but I copied the checkbox to the Edit Item Template, but did not disabled this one. At first, I didn't change the databindings, leaving it Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")), which allowed me to go into Edit mode, change the checkbox, then click update. At which point it would return to it's original state (meaning Update wasn't actually updating). However if I change the databindings, then the page won't display. I checked the SQL statement, and sure enough, it has theUpdateCommand="UPDATE [PartsTable] ... SET [Shipping] = @Shipping... WHERE [PartID] = @original_PartIDAfter fiddling with the sql statement, now I get Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I think that means that the checkbox is sending a null value to the database.Any insight as to how to get this to work is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have had the same Error 29506 that a lot of people are having when installing SP2 for SQL 2005. I've tried the install with myself (a Domain Admin), local Administrator, cascaded full rights down the entire file system structure and still not luck. One thing I'm wondering if it is hanging me up is that all of my databases and logs are not on C:. They are on LUNS on a NetApp SAN (Data is on M: and Logs is on L:). Even the system databases (Master, Model, etc.) are on the LUNs. The error logs referenced permissions to the data directory under the default installation path on C:. Anyone else have this problem? Got a fix? I really don't want to migrate all of my data back to the local machine, apply the patch, them migrate back. Surely this SP should be able to read the data location from the SQL engine. And surely others have their databases on SANs.... I'm at a loss.

Hi guys I am trying to convert this to date add because MS SqL and Jet SQL dont exactly speak the same language
=DateSerial(Year([FINALSUIT])4,Month([FINALSUIT]),Day([FINALSUIT]))
I am trying to calcuate the finalsuit date for every 2 years becasue that when employees have to get their gaming license renewed, so I'm trying to add the renewal year by 2 because they have to get it done every two years
If I am running a scheduled job at the first of the month and I want to run an update sequence for the previous month, i was essentially using this sql:
@startdate = dateadd(mm, -1, getdate())
@enddate = dateadd(dd, -1, getdate())
So, will the @enddate represent the last day in the previous month or will that not work?

What is the correct format for getting the last three months of data. in sql its DATEADD(mm-3,getdate()) but for some reason the report doesnt want to take this? what am i doing wrong?
Code Snippet
=IIF(Sum(iif(Fields!Database_Size_Datetime.Value >= DATEADD(mm, - 3, GETDATE()), Cdbl(Fields!MonthlyDBTotal.Value), 0.0))/ 3)
By the way, im trying to get the average over the last three months by doing this.
I am using Derived Column Transformation Task to format my data as I am converting my DTS to SSIS. One of the columns requires to use DATEADD where I add 1 month and substruct one day from the date that I get in the flat file.(note that I always hardcode the day to "01" regardless of what I get in my flat file)
The current script looks like this:
DTSDestination("PeriodEndDate") =
dateadd("d",-1,dateadd("m",1,cdate(mid(cstr(DTSSource("Col004")),1,4) & "-" & mid(cstr(DTSSource("Col004")),5,2) & "-" & "01")))
Does any one know how to convert it so it works in my derived column?
